Victoria University of Wellington

James Thurbur said it (The New Yorker, 3 April, 1973), you may feel it, and people who study our brains and our behaviour know it. We need to ease up. In our rush for innovative performance, we’re going about it all wrong.

It’s a busy time of the year and we’re telling the students not to stress out but are we giving ourselves any breathing space? At Vic Careers the staff are gearing up for Halloween with a little colouring-in when we get the chance. Can anyone tell me about the research into how good colouring-in is for adults?

What’s to come of all this?

I can’t tell you how all this will turn out, all I know is there are more than a few keen artists preparing scary pictures for us to decorate the office wall on Halloween (All Hallows Eve, 31 October). Watch this space for our artwork.
